Customer Reviews: very good November 9, 2009 Ms. J. E. X. Read (UK) enjoyed the T-Girl in it. Like World Cinema. No hollywood rubbish is sight. You want to watch a movie, and I mean watch and not have as back ground noise whilst you talk, buy this DVD now. Subtitled. Culture brill. calm down, Asia April 1, 2008 Bogdan Tiganov (London, UK) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful The story of Transylvania is very simple. A strange French/Italian (who knows?) has come to Transylvania looking for her gypsy lover who was deported from France. She is pregnant and she's brought along her friend, who is slightly less strange. The Gypsy theme continues as the girl, called Zingarina, goes in search of freedom, love and err...doing nothing, wandering through the villages, bars and country roads of Transylvania. br / br /What really irritates me about this film is not how oversimplistic the Romanian/Gypsy way of life is portrayed but how absolutely, incredibly annoying Asia Argento's character is. She wails and screams her way through at least half the film so that she's merely being hysterical in her mellow moments (and people accuse Al Pacino of overacting). Personally, her performance puts a dampner on the whole thing. br / br /Otherwise, what you have is a beautifully shot film with some standout moments (see the one-man party) but a fantasy of sorts. Like Tony Gatlif's previous work, Transylvania yearns for the spiritual freedom of Gypsies (or Roma) which seems to be found by music, alcohol, pain and not caring what anyone else thinks. Just don't expect to learn anything about Transylvania. br / br /Bogdan Tiganov - author of The Wooden Tongue Speaks- Romanians: Contradictions Realities
